Experienced and creatively driven designer with a strong background in spatial design and architecture. My work revolves around set and conceptual design, where I merge my architectural and design expertise to craft immersive, site-specific narratives. My Master’s program in Interior Design at the Glasgow School of Art, along with my experience as an architect, has cultivated my creative thinking, sharpened my attention to detail, and equipped me with a unique skill set that is transferable to the field of set design.
